all of creation
 is part of an endless wheel
 inexorable

according to us
we are here at this moment 
there is so much more

the totality
 of everything that exists 
we don't understand

 if you are reading
we have connected here now 
cherish this moment

live every day
 like a treasure to be found
 and you will find it

 even if you don't 
find a treasure every day
 life is a treasure

life is a treasure 
if you are quite miserable
 you will wake one day

the lives that we lead
 vary wildly in nature
a startling contrast

some people are glad
 and then to balance this out 
most people are not

those who sow in tears
shall reap in joy when they leave
serendipity

 life, at times, can be
 a non-stop roller-coaster
 hang on for the ride!

 if you are living 
a roller-coaster lifestyle 
enjoy the contrast

embrace every day
 feel all of the emotions 
going with the flow

I
am here
at this time
Where does it all 
lead?

The
future
is shrouded
in mystery 
Be

Be 
as free
as your shell
accommodates 
Zen

~Y~

we are connected
 in a mysterious way
 to all that exists

so all that exists
is all that really matters 
in this brief moment

for this small window 
is all that we have right now
so think about it
